On-Air Audit has helped networks, syndicators and agencies answer questions about what and how things are airing on television since 1989. On-Air Audit can help you find out what is happening on the broadcast networks or on any television station in the country. Qualitative research is the strength. On-Air Audit can answer the easy questions like “Did our spots air?” but it can also go beyond that and tell you when it aired, how long it was, what aired next to it, if it was localized, and if it was clipped or compressed. Whatever questions you have about something airing on broadcast television, nationally or locally, On-Air Audit can answer them.

On-Air Audit can acquire data in most U.S. markets.

Accurate, qualitative information is On-Air Audit’s strength.

On-Air Audit records the station or network you request either digitally or on video tape, and has people with real television experience watch the recordings and log the data. This allows On-Air Audit to produce highly accurate reports. On-Air Audit can tell you if a spot ran in a local break or a network break and can verify program segment lengths to be sure a show was not compressed or clipped. Creative issues can also be addressed such as logo usage, tag verbiage, or to verify which version of creative was used.
